Yesterday I burned through my old stock of 165 GS and transitioned to a new stock of 180 PDX1. In my platform (Glock 27), it occurred to me that the PDX1, while a bit softer than the GS, was still relatively heavy in recoil--this was especially noticeable one handed. I like the terminal performance characteristics of the PDX1. Winchester makes the "W Train and Defend" ammunition, which uses the same projectile. From a Glock 27 it average about 850fps, whereas the PDX1 is about 100fps faster. Does anyone know if the PDX1 bullet will perform properly in the mid-800s? I understand the long-term answer is a 9mm, but I'd prefer to work with what I have at this time.

Thanks.

Velocities ranged from 858 to 923 fps.
One round did not open fully.

Thanks Velo Dog, it looks like it performs relatively well from the Glock 27.
